Reports the escaped meta characters, e.g. <b><code>\.</code></b>.
Some RegExp coding styles specify that meta characters should be placed inside a character class,
to make the regular expression easier to understand.
For example the regex <b><code>\d+\.\d+</code></b> would be written as <code>\d+[.]\d+</code>.
This inspection does not warn about the meta character <b><code>[</code></b>, <b><code>]</code></b> and <b><code>^</code></b>,
because those would need additional escaping inside a character class.
